Judge Sets Sept. Trial Date in Vince Neil Battery Case

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Attorneys for Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil say they’re investigating what led to a misdemeanor battery charge accusing Neil of grabbing a woman’s hair and pulling her to the ground in April outside a Las Vegas Strip resort.

The 55-year-old Neil didn’t appear in court Tuesday with attorneys David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld.

They’ve pleaded not guilty on his behalf. A judge set a Sept. 19 trial date.

Outside court, Chesnoff said he needs to review the evidence before he can comment.
